Still beaming after Tuesday night’s celebration of Chytilová's DAISIES (1966) @ Czech Center of New York. Can’t wait for the @jcmsjournal.bsky.social dossier to drop (open access) this fall! Talks by my co-editor Masha Shpolberg and contributors Barbora Bartunova, Meta Mazaj, Dijana Jelača...
NYC movie theater trip #4
Tamiment Library/Robert F. Wagner Archives inside NYU’s Bobst Library to watch 1941 film* (technically digital file of video tape transferred from film) about Transport Workers Union produced by Leo Seltzer + Elaine Basil. No recording allowed 😭 but took copious notes.
Speaking of flowers, here's one of the beautiful stencil-colored rotating flower films from the collection of the EYE Filmmuseum in Amsterdam.

A highlight from a night of many highlights fêteing DAISIES (1966) at the Czech Center NY yesterday evening! Behold the comedic genius of @hennefem.bsky.social who recorded this video in collaboration with amazing animator Kelly Gallagher for the occasion! We missed you IRL, Maggie! 🎂🌼
Leana Hirschfeld-Kroen, and a virtual @hennefem.bsky.social! Plus a brand new film, GUSTATORY GRATITUDES, by the very talented animator Kelly Gallagher made for the occasion. Night concluded w/ rooftop party
